Abstract
The paper compares two different ways (2D and 3D) of modelling of two-phase squirrel-cage induction machine using the finite element method (FEM). It focuses mainly on differences between starting characteristics given from both types of the model. It also discusses influence of skew rotor slots on harmonic content in air gap flux density and summarizes some issues of both approaches.
